Sugar Bayou Band Firefly Lyrics

Firefly
APRIL RAPIER, BOB OLDREIVE & JOE LINDLEY

Firefly in a cobalt sky
All the warmth I’ll have tonight
Behind the ridge a half moon hides
Distant as my lover’s eyes

The river fog is spreading and I’ve lost my way
The trail is twisting through the vines
At the water’s edge tonight
You never know what you might find

If I could climb upon that ridge
I’m sure I’d find Heaven’s bridge But I won’t cross and break these ties
I’m still chasing fireflies

I can’t find the west wind to blow this fog away
Or carry my lover’s voice to me
All at once a whisper tells me where I need to be

Firefly in a cobalt sky
All the warmth I’ll have tonight
Behind the ridge a half moon hides
To try and capture fireflies
